Censorship By Any Other Name

The truth is I despise the hateful, insulting crap that comes out of the mouths and off the fingers of many on the Right…..but I also believe they have the right to express themselves as they wish….short of any violence.

But recently a couple of the so-called “social media” sites have taken up the idea of deleting and banning some of their users….

This week, internet giants like Facebook, Youtube, Spotify and others banned the notorious Alex Jones and InfoWars from their platforms, and the purge is enjoying widespread support among the left, which has made a reputation for itself as intolerant of differing opinions (last year, for example, a group of Antifa protesters beat one of our own Anti-Media reporters and destroyed his camera equipment at a rally simply because he was filming).

In Jones’ case, Facebook cited hate speech, though this stance seems inconsistent considering the platform has caught flack for allowing anti-semitic content. This lack of principle doesn’t matter to many left-wing partisans, though, as long as someone they find reprehensible is silenced — even as others with far better reputations are banned from other platforms (to clarify, Anti-Media does not endorse Infowars in any way, nor do we consider them to be a legitimate news outlet).

I understand why the “Zuck” did this…he was trying to divert attention from his past transgressions that are not going away as he had said they would.

But I do not think that these a/holes should be banned….that is as bad as people that called for me to be banned back in the days of my youth because I had a more socialist leaning in those days.

All the “fake news” tomes on the web are just that on the web…..a person must choose to search for the facts and the truth or believe whatever they are told by pundits who are paid to stir the pot….after all most are propagandists paid to deceive.

I have used this reference before in an attempt to get Americans thinking for themselves…..

Fake news is nothing new. But bogus stories can reach more people more quickly via social media than what good old-fashioned viral emails could accomplish in years past.

Concern about the phenomenon led Facebook and Google to announce that they’ll crack down on fake news sites, restricting their ability to garner ad revenue. Perhaps that could dissipate the amount of malarkey online, though news consumers themselves are the best defense against the spread of misinformation.

Just when I think I can’t hate these worthless motherfuckers more…Just when I think their unchallenged, unquestioned, over-inflated and over-valued companies pose too much danger to what laughingly passes for “society” ….they pull THIS kind of fucking bullshit!!!

You’re 100% right about Loserbook jumping on any chance to divert attention from the fact that their amoral hunger for profit helped to put Trump…and all his Infowars listening nutjobs into the driver’s seat. “Oh, look Lefties. See? I’m one of you!”

Bull-motherfucking-shit!!! That Zuckerhead motherfucker isn’t even human!!! Just like David Icke claims, he’s a reptilian alien who feasts on human flesh. At the VERY least, Zuckerhead has turned everyone into “human resources”, data to be stripped to the bone in a feeding frenzy…He’s aided & abetted a full-frontal assault on American democracy….And now he’s coming for your right to Free Speech. And NOBODY is remotely interested in stopping them.

This is just a taste of the danger posed by these tech-oligopolies. They literally get filthy rich off of lies, batshit crazy lies, straight up foreign propaganda & psy-ops…and (even worse) ads. But oh nooooo!…They have NO idea how to stop that lucrative revenue source. No fucking clue. But one specific nutter ticks them off….and PRESTO!!! They get together and instantly render him a “unperson”, to borrow from Orwell. (And who isn’t these days?)

And it makes others at least start to legitimately wonder. Certainly, The Social Media absolutely is the “enemy of the people”. That much is for sure. Compared to traditional media, they’re increasingly more powerful and are wall-to-wall lies. Yet are accountable to absolutely nobody…but profit hungry shareholders, Russian troll farms….and the Reptilian Conspiracy.
